Tom Arnold hints he had a hair transplant by the same surgeon as Caitlyn Jenner after she made the recommendation

Tom Arnold has admitted to having a hair transplant, while simultaneously hinting that Caitlyn Jenner had the same treatment.

Arnold, who was previously married to actress Rosanna Barr, visited Beverly Hills Surgeon Dr Craig Ziering to fluff up his hair but also confessed that it was a recommendation from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.

Caitlyn, 65, famously began her gender transformation in June this year, having previously been known as Bruce Jenner.

The same month, Arnold tweeted: ‘Went to Doc Craig Ziering who did Caitlyn Jenner,’ appearing to reveal Caitlyn's secret to luscious locks.

Since her transition Caitlyn’s hair has not only grown longer but her hairline has evened out and the overall appearance of her locks look fuller.

While the length of her glossy locks can be attributed to hair extensions there is no denying the hairline and the growth around her scalp.

But while Caitlyn has remained tight lipped on her new flowing locks, Tom has no such reticence when it comes to talking about his new head of healthy hair.

And it seems the comedian has an open mind when it comes to his vanity, as he remembers first having a hair transplant twenty-five years a go to look like Olympic medallist Bruce in his heyday, but later visited the doctor who helped to transition Caitlyn.

The actor discussed with MailOnline his viewpoint on male ageing and reasons that motivated him to have hair transplant surgery.

‘I love my father,' he said. 'But I don't want to look exactly like my father until I absolutely have to. I'd like to say I went to Dr. Ziering because as an actor I needed more hair, but that's not true.

'I work with talented hair people who work miracles. I'd love to say I went because I have a hot younger wife and I felt pressured, (I do but she has never said a negative thing about my hair).

'I went for my ego. To make me feel better about me,’ he confessed.

But he admitted that surgery among men is still a hush hush subject, so he relied on his female friends for advice.

'Women are way more open and honest about biological issues. I've had male fertility issues and zero man friends to discuss it with.

'Women friends recommended Dr. Ziering to me, "He is the king of eyebrow restoration," I knew two well-known women who'd gone to Craig for eyebrows and hair and they are beautiful.’

He then spoke of the actual process of having his temples brought in to make them more aesthetically pleasing.

'What they do is more art than surgery. They brought in my temples and inspire what my ego wanted, my hairline looks natural. Since they do individual hairs I can't even tell what's supposed to be there and what was moved from the back of my head.’

And like a new man with a new lease of life and a bouffant head of hair he was back on camera four days after the procedure.

'I was able to shoot on HD camera four days after surgery and no one would know.

‘I recommend Dr Ziering so you don't have to call your lame male friends. I'm not too proud to help my fellow man or woman, am not a paid spokesman and I paid full price, plus I've got a perfect little son and that’s all that matters.’
